“Simple Season” is the fifth track of Hippo Campus' debut LP. The track was inspired by a friend of band member Nathan Stocker. Nathan spoke about this friend in an article, “Nathan Stocker’s Best Birthday Gift.”
I got this letter on my birthday.
The friend who gave it to me was someone I met in hi...
[Verse 1: Jake]
Posted up, fours got stained from everything
Sippy cups, here’s to us and no one else
You’re like me, piece by piece you fall apart
Island home, ain’t a terrible start
[Chorus: Jake, Nathan & Whistler]
Half moon, hey to the daytime
Blueberry knees feeling just fine, yeah
Break up, down in the backyard
This simple season is all ours, yeah
[Verse 2: Jake]
Friendly storms seem to pull us back
Still lukewarm ashtray heart attacks
Daffodils, happy pills, and Harriet strikes
[Chorus: Jake, Nathan & Whistler]
Half moon, hey to the daytime
Blueberry knees feeling just fine, yeah
Break up, down in the backyard
This simple season is all ours, yeah
Lake scene, knee deep in the stars
This simple season is all ours, yeah
[Outro: Jake, Jake, Nathan & Whistler]
Sweet love, kiss on the eyelid
Bruised up, chasing the sky, did
You say something about her
My legs brush up beside her
Too young looking for trouble
New god, lost in the struggle
One more night in the backyard
This simple season
This simple season is all ours
This simple season is all ours
This simple season is all ours
This simple season is all ours

(Simple Season is about) milking our youth for all its worth. It’s the photos on your bedroom wall from that disposable camera you picked up for the summer. That night when the moon was full. Flying kites the day after. Friends we made and the friends that made us. Nothing to do and all day to do it...
Funnily enough, it’s actually Whistler!
